2 Christmases ago, Jaime walked into the Gushikawa Baptist Church. God arranged him to move into the house practically nextdoor. The Gospel story he'd heard before had been running through his heart and mind...and God used Scot Garner to lead Jaime to salvation that very night.
For the church Christmas on Dec. 22, Jaime played two handbells for the handbell choir special music, and later that afternoon, it was apparent that the church people loved him as he went up front for his gift exchange. What was he going to get, everyone wondered.
Yes, Jaime stood in the back for the group picture at the end of the activities that day. But his quiet radiance and quick willingness to help let me know why I felt the group's warmth towards him.
Lord, let me be like that too, that by being there, it makes folks feel good, and people could always ask me to help, and get an easy reply. Sometimes I will do what I am asked, but I make a big deal out of it.
Jaime wouldn't do that.
